Subject: How Will It All End??

Written By: haleym8826 on 06/13/08 at 11:25 pm

As some of you may or may not know there is a rumor that the world will end in the year 2012. I myself do not believe that it will happen in thta year or anytime soon for that matter but hey, no one can know for sure right.

Even though i do not believe such rumors i still thought the topic was really interesting, and so i decided to make this thread for everyone here on the boards. this is the place for you to express your prediction, realistic or completely out of this world. Will aliens take over. will we crash into the sun and suffer a firey death or will we just slowly become extict allong with the other species on earth. Put it all her and talk over with your friends.

That wasn't even the only one i heard either. There was another one that was predicted by the mayans. They put out a date for the apocolypse but they keep date a different way than we do so I have know idea when they expect it to happen according to our time. either way it's a load of bull.

Yeah it is. You hear about something like that and afte a while you put it out of your mind and continue with your life and next thing you know your friend says something about it and you start thinking about it again. It is like a constant reminder that no matter how happy or sad your life is there is going to be a time eventually when we will all die.

I believe, my world will end, when I take my last breath.  Nothing more complicated.  I'll probably die of a heart attack because of various factors, and it will probably be sooner then I'd really like it to be, because generally I'm enjoying life right now.

There have always been major events that have killed many people, be it natural disasters, disease, famine, rioting, war, just to name a few.  Whole societies have collapsed, many that seemed that would last forever.  Some have been extensively recorded in history, others...there is still alot of things we just don't know.  Our current society should not be expected to be any different.

It always makes for good speculation to think something catastrophic will happen to wipe out everything that we know now, and maybe that is possible, you always need to factor in unexpected things.  I'm sure if you'd talked to Krushchev in the early 60s, and told them by mid-90s their empire would be just a breath of what it was then...He'd have thrown his shoe at you.  Russia seems to be making a comeback now, so who knows what's to happen?  Can't really be predicted from what I see.

Good point BookMistress.I mean other peoples prediction are completely fascinating even if some are a little far fetch but how many of them can really be labled as a far fetched prediction. i mean we already have so many predictions from science, from all of the different religions, and there are things that people just come up with. These are the things labeled as far fetched just because most people have the same idea in their head of how it will happen. but what if they are wrong and this  person with this "Crazy" idea isn't so crazy after all. We never can really know. Predictions is all we have

The world will end at 10. Details at 11.  :D ;D ;D ;D


William Miller said that the world was going to end around 1844-while he never actually gave a date, someone else did and all his followers believed it. They gave away all their Earthly possessions, donned white robes and climbed on roof tops & trees so the trip to heaven would be shorter. (I am not making this up. I did my undergraduate honor's thesis on this).


I too, have heard that the Mayans set a date for the world to end-Dec. 21(?) 2012. It could just be that that date is when a new era/clock will start (since they used a clock to measure years rather than a day like we do). People have been speculating that the world will end since the beginning of time. I think in today's age, we will know if the world will end because how I think it will happen will be:

1. Some idiot with his finger on the bottom will do it (hopefully, he/she will be stopped before that happen-like the president of the U.S. or Pakistan or even North Korea).

2. There will be some disease that would wipe out a good portion of the population but hopefully, the science community will come up with a way to stop it before it totally wipes everyone out.

3. An asteroid/comet will hit the Earth but hopefully, the science community will be able to divert it before it hits. 

4. The Sun will die out-but that is not supposed to happen for another billion years or so-give or take.


I can't imagine any other reason for the world to end-unless we are invaded by UFOs.

Wow. it is truly amazing what some people will do in the light of something that has a very large chance of being fake.It just goes to show that humans are easily persuaded.

Right now I would say that your first three theories are most likely. The third however depends on the size. If the comet is big enough then yes it could very well end the world but if is smaller then it could just end up being a repeat of the dinosaur era.

December 21, 2012 is when the current Mayan long calendar ends. It doesn't mean it's the end of the world. It just means that era has ended and a new one starts the next day. Our calendar ends every December 31, but that doesn't mean the world ends. Silly.

I've done my own investigating about the end time rumors and what I have found is actually quite troubling. I won't get into it all here, but what I will say is what I have discovered is like having a thousand piece jigsaw puzzle fall right into place before my very eyes. It's almost as if all the odd news going on in the world has a very common thread, from the incredible climate change taking place before our very eyes, to the unbelievable increase in fuel prices and the rationing of food, particularly rice, to the seed vault in Norway and the billion dollar thermal telescope the US had installed in Antarctica and the Vatican's involvement with a powerful telescope in Arizona. The end of the Mayan calendar is only the beginning (The Mayans were incredible astronomers, who knew things about our galaxy thousands of years before we re-discovered the information). There is so much more to discover and I am finding out more each and every day. As far as a specific date goes for the end of time, no one will ever know that date. I would tell everyone to go with their hearts and by their own instincts. Like animals who can sense when a storm or earthquake is about to hit, people have this same instinct as well. What is your heart telling you now? I know what mine is telling me...

Who knew that the re-legalization of the distillation of absinthe in the United States was a sign of the apocalypse?

I did.  The instant I dipped my tongue into the stuff.  I was tasting licorice for an hour after just one sip.  And at 70% (140 proof) alcohol by volume, even when suitably diluted by drizzling it over a filigreed spoon, one sip's plenty.  The alcohol draws all the flavor components straight into your tongue; after the fiery pain subsides, you'll be tasting licorice and anise for the next half hour.  Definitely an after-dinner drink, and while it's a fun novelty with friends, it's a real pain to try and pair with food.

Oh yeah.  End of the world.  Take your pick; there's an apocalypse for every taste at Exit Mundi.

I did.  The instant I dipped my tongue into the stuff.  I was tasting licorice for an hour after just one sip.  And at 70% (140 proof) alcohol by volume, even when suitably diluted by drizzling it over a filigreed spoon, one sip's plenty.  The alcohol draws all the flavor components straight into your tongue; after the fiery pain subsides, you'll be tasting licorice and anise for the next half hour.  Definitely an after-dinner drink, and while it's a fun novelty with friends, it's a real pain to try and pair with food.

Oh yeah.  End of the world.  Take your pick; there's an apocalypse for every taste at Exit Mundi.


Absinthe looks so pretty, I once had some cough syrup that looked just like it.  Horrible stuff.  (I still remember the taste, and it's been 30-odd years).  ;D

What I find amusing is they used to put cocaine in Pepsi and Coca-Cola and use it at soda fountains for a "pick-me-up" but they would outlaw absinthe.  Strange.  I would swear they still put coke in diet coke, I drink so much of that darn stuff that I have to be addicted for some reason.  Just for the taste of it?  Yeah right.  ;D

Nobody said prohibition had to make sense.  In fact, it's more profitable if it doesn't make sense.  (You didn't think we wanted those laws to be obyed, did you?  There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws...)

All the politicians say that there's a new way coming to town,
Ah, but I ain't seen nothin', nothin' to stop this frown.
'Cos it's guns to the left, dollars to the right,
Down the barrel of an Armalite.

Ah yes, it's always more tempting to do something, if you are told not to do it or told to not even think about doing it.  Heck, for most people that is as much of a green light to do something as just having no rules at all.  Rules are made to be broken (unless you are a goody two shoes (like me)  :P

Song by R.E.M., "It's The End Of The World As We Know It" ---
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eyFiClAzq8&feature=related

Is the world going to end in 2012 A.D.?  Yes.

Did the world already end in 2012 B.C.E.?  Yes.

Is the world ending right now in this present moment?  Yes.

Did the world already end in the previous present moment?  Yes.

The apocalypse occurs in each present moment. Subatomic physics has proven that the persistence of form that we all take for granted on the macro-level of our human perception is an illusion. The literal meaning of the word apocalypse comes from the Greek word "apokalypsis", which can be translated as "the lifting of the veil" or "that which is revealed". In Western culture, the word apocalypse has taken on the additional meaning of "the end of the world as we know it". Combining those meanings yields this new meaning: the ongoing ending of form as we know it, realization of which reveals the impermanence of all forms and lifts the veil of the optical illusion of the apparent persistence of form that we all take for granted every day of our lives.

The distinction between macro level and micro level is an artificial distinction, used in the present context to draw the reader's attention to the limits of non-technologically-enhanced human perception.

Macro-to-micro is an undifferentiated continuum, not an absolute boundary between opposites. The ongoing transformation of forms in the universe occurs throughout the whole of that entire continuum.

It basically comes down to this: in this present moment, we see a set of configurations of energy that we label "the universe".  In the next present moment, all of those configurations have been destroyed forever, and a completely new set of configurations is seen, since energy is in constant flux.  It is possible for humans to fail to perceive this fact, due to the hypnotically persuasive optical illusion of configuration-persistence.
